We may recognize here two sub-processes: (a) splittiug at the tip, and {b) splitting along the whole length. a. As is well known, nerves grow out as blunt stalks which repeatedly divide at their ends. Paterson has shown that some of the spinal nerves split at the somato-splauchnic angle, as shown in Figure 11.

His ('88, *''*!>*.. Fig. 11. Arch. f. Anat., Jahrg. 1887, p. 376) shows in many cases that the split- ting takes place where the end of the growing nerve strikes a rigid organ. Thus, he says, when the third branch of the trigeminus strikes Meckel's cartilage, it divides into the ramus lingualis and the ramus mandibnlaris; and when the hypoglossal meets the jugular vein, it divides into its de- scending and lingual branches. The way in which the rigid organs act to produce splitting is thus explained by His. Pre-existing resistant ob- jects may be considered as the " Motivs" of division; for as a nerve Fig. 11.
